Scott & Mark in our rental car leaving the San Antonio airport
We made a quick trip down to Broadway in the Desert this year with Mark. We left at noon on Friday, saw the show Friday night, and drove home Saturday after a little shopping in the St. George outlet stores. We went to see the regional premiere of Disney’s “The Little Mermaid” and it was GREAT! The theater installed a water curtain for the show and all the underwater scenes utilized the curtain, they flooded the stage, there was lots of aerial work done in the underwater scenes to give the illusion of swimming, and it was all really cool. The costumes were really awesome and the wheelie shoes for the sea people made them glide along the stage. The talent was excellent, as always, and we saw some familiar faces; overall, it was a great production. We took Mark on the backstage tour before the show because the last time we went with Brian, Mark was on his mission. It’s fun to see the costumes and sets behind the theater. We also learned that the tunnel underneath the stage was expanded this year to go forward to the front edge of the stage and two trap doors were installed so that Ariel and others could come up right in the front and people could disappear down. Those were cool effects.

I haven’t been very good at tagging in the past, but I went through old posts and tagged each year’s Tuacahn post so now we can see all our adventures in one search! Whoopee!
Here’s Mark giving us a live performance on July 4th of his new song, Canadians in my House. Click over to his blog and take a listen!

I’d like to”Pay it Forward” to my eldest son this week. Mark created a blog dedicated to his music, called appropriately, Mark Carey Music. He’s posted an original song that I really like which he wrote, performed and recorded. It’s called “From the Sea to the Sun”. Mark is a music major with an emphasis in music sound recording and plays cello, guitar, piano, organ, and sings. He’s pretty multi-talented and fun, too!
Recently he accompanied a local singer/songwriter, Taylor Olsen, at the new Muse Music Cafe, which has a blog detailing music events in Provo. You can watch one of the videos, “She’s Not Me”, here; he also plays on her song, “Worst Enemy”.

It seems the Provo music scene is really hopping as evidenced by a recent Deseret News article. So I’m also giving a shout-out to the Provo Music Guide, a blog that gives all sorts of info about local bands, venues, and upcoming shows. Rock on!
